A pirate ship is rapidly approaching your fort! You bravely station yourself at the mounted cannon but find to your dismay that you have only one cannonball. Not only this, yoour cannon is rusted in place and can only fire at an angle theta = 10.0 degrees up from the horizontal. To prevent a siege on your fort, you must fire your cannon at exactly the correct moment to strike the enemy ship at the base of its mast. You know that your cannon is stationed on a wall a height h = 8.00 m above your target , and that it fires at a speed of v1 = 205 m/s. You will use this information to determine the distance d at which the pirate ship is in your cannon's range.
Part 1: Determine the initial vertical velocity v1,y and the initial horizonal velocity v1,x of the cannonball.
Part 2: If the cannonball starts its trajectory at a height y1 = h, determine its height y2 at the top of its arc and the time t2 it takes to get there.
Part 3: How long will it take for the cannonball to fall from the…

and the flag on the mast of a boat anchored in the
harbour flutters along the N-E direction. If the boat
starts moving at a speed of 51km/h to the north,
what is the direction of the flag on the mast of the
boat?

- In my homework, I am asked to derive an equation for V0. The homework question is as follows: A howitzer fires a shell with a velocity of v0 at an angle Θ above the horizontal. The howitzer is on a plateau and the shell lands down in the plain below, a vertical distance d below the plateau and a horizontal distance L from where the howitzer is. Derive an expression for the magnitude of the initial velocity, V0, as a function of d, L, g, and Θ.
